The words in many instances, such as in Orlando Gibbons' 'ex- quisite madrigal beginning "The silver swan, who, living had no note," are equally as lovely as the music, and the leader of the sexette, Mr. Cuthbert Kelly, was wise to recite to us the words before they were sung, since his speaking voice is almost as de- lightful as his singing voice.

This domestic music is typleal of the English character, which is redolent in every one of the songs, although some of the audience may possibly have felt, that the artificial folk songs ar- ranged by Dr. Vaughan Williams from crude but quainter 'material, such as the old sea shantles, were a trifle out of harmony with the pristine loveliness of "O Softly Singing Lute," (Francis Pilking- ton), "Though Amaryllis Dance in Green," and the mystical "Ave Verum Corpus, Natum de Maria Virgine," (both by William Byrd). It was an enchanting evening, and the English Singers are to be deeply thanked for coming so far round the globe to bring a ca- sential part of England to its exiles.
